Another of O-10’s faves…..the true original version this time. Pepper, not Ronnie, O-10! 😊. You out there, O-10?
Jazz for aficionados
Jazz for aficionados
I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

Hey rok have you been calling O10 periodically since his absence here started or just this recent call? regretfully, I think frogman may be right that O10s health problem may have worsened. To what extent we all can only speculate but if he has not answered your call or calls (when he usually did answer?) has me thinking sad thoughts
I do hope he is ok and, all sarcasm aside, wish he would post some of his controversial (you call it noise, rok) non jazz music |
frogman that 1962 Bill Evans album was re- released in 1982 titled The Interplay Sessions. From Wiki The Interplay Sessions is a 1982 Milestone album that includes the entirety of this album, and tracks recorded for Riverside on August 21 and 22 of the same year with a different lineup (with Zoot Sims and Ron Carter, and without Freddie Hubbard and Percy Heath). The Interplay Sessions peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Jazz Albums charts in 1983.[3] The CD reissue Interplay adds another take of "I'll Never Smile Again" as a bonus track. At the Grammy Awards of 1984, Orrin Keepnews won the Grammy Award for Best Album I added this to my Spotify library and am listening to it now. Great jazz! |
The past few days have been the only times I have ever called him. Including twice today. The number came from google so I hope it's the correct number. I assume an 80+ year old would be at home most of the time.
Cheers |
